The Galilee Basin Story so far . . . GVK Hancock Coal Media releases state there will be 4000 jobs for the area and yet they still say there will be FIFO workers. Why?
Is it because they know they are lying and this is how they get around telling the absolute truth on the subject of real employment.Thermal coal is uneconomic on the current spot price yet they still get approval from the state and federal governments.
June 2011:
Billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart flew Coalition MPs, including the Liberal Party's deputy leader Julie Bishop and Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce, to take part in a sumptuous three day-wedding of a prominent Indian industrialist in Hyderabad.
The Reddy family company, infrastructure behemoth GVK, is seeking a controlling stake in coal mines owned by the Hancock group.

November 2013:
The federal government has approved a massive coal mining project in central Queensland that will be the largest in the country.
The environment minister, Greg Hunt, approved the 37,380-hectare Kevin's Corner project on Friday. The mine (will) be operated by a joint India-Australia consortium, GVK-Hancock.

GVK Hancock has developed a plan to boost regional jobs for around 30+ years in the operational workforce of its planned Galilee Basin mining operations.
The plan to boost regional jobs involves adopting bus-in/bus-out services stretching over 300 kilometres from Emerald to Barcaldine to create sustained, long-term employment throughout the region.
This bus-in/bus-out service will complement the unavoidable need for fly-in/fly-out services, to meet the requirement of more than 4,000 direct jobs at our proposed mines.
